00:00And almost 15 million people tuned in to Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special.

00:05But, considering Blake has accused director and co-star Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment claims,

00:11he denies, by the way, was going for laughs the right move?

00:15I have a question.

00:17Oh! Hi, Ryan Reynolds!

00:19Hey, hey!

00:21Hi, Ryan.

00:23Ryan Reynolds, how's it going?

00:25Great! Why, what have you heard?

00:28That throwaway joke Ryan casually dropped about his and Blake's lawsuits with Justin Baldoni

00:33could be potentially used against them, according to Law & Crime Network host Jesse Weber,

00:37who doesn't represent either the couple or Baldoni.

00:40First of all, I don't know if that's ever going to come into evidence.

00:42Courtmates say that's not relevant enough to this case.

00:44Having said that, Justin Baldoni's team could potentially use that clip to suggest

00:49neither Ryan Reynolds nor Blake Lively are taking this case seriously.

00:53She filed very serious allegations against me,

00:56basically saying that I'm a sexual harasser, that I retaliated against her,

01:00and yet they come out and make jokes about it.

01:02I'm unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed

01:11and has made jokes about that type of situation.

01:15Baldoni's attorney Brian Friedman speaking out yesterday on Hot Mice with Billy Bush.

01:20It surprised me.

01:21I think the reason they came out at such a public event was to say,

01:25we're not in hiding.

01:26Sure, there's been a lot put forward by Justin Baldoni and his team.

01:30We've been on the defensive.

01:31Public opinion has been swaying against us.

01:33Hey, guess what?

01:34We're going to fight this.

01:35We're going to come out.

01:36We're a happy couple.

01:37It could look a little tone deaf as something that Blake Lively has been accused of,

01:41but at the same time, they're also saying,

01:43our lawyers will handle this.

01:44I have a career.

01:45She has a career.

01:46We're honoring SNL's 50th anniversary.

01:49Aside from the potential legal ramifications,

01:53the couple's controversial appearance has apparently also driven a deeper rift

01:56between team Baldoni and team Blake,

01:58with an onslaught of negativity sweeping Blake's Instagram.

02:02Fans are also accusing Ryan of stealing the spotlight from his ex-wife,

02:06Scarlett Johansson,

02:07who was there supporting her current husband,

02:09longtime SNL star Colin Jost,

02:11with one social media user saying,

02:13that's wildly unhinged to hijack the night that your ex and her new man

02:17were supposed to be the center focus.

02:19Long Crime did a poll.

02:20Polled thousands of people.

02:2296% of the people polled sided with Justin Baldoni.

02:26That number really hasn't changed.

02:28But what I will say is,

02:29these people are not the potential jury that's going to happen in a trial

02:33in March of 2026.

02:37Access has reached out to Blake's team and has not heard back yet.

02:50We'll keep you posted.
